I think a large part of that is familiarity. vB has been around for a long time and many of the larger boards adopted it early, so it's kind of just the norm for many. I am not sure the platform would matter so much as the presentation. Interesting stat though. I wonder if presenting a vB board with a default IPB skin would have a positive or negative effect, or vice versa. Social experiment in the making?
From my own perspective, I personally like Xenforo more than either vB or IPB, and I think the one from SimpleMachines is a nice alternative for some applications.
